Toro on Tuesday

Yes I always sit close to the window.. I like the breeze...

I like it....

People can't help themselves. I am just too adorable ;)

I have been giving Toro his new diet mixed with his old diet, both renal. He seems to like them both so I guess in the middle of the week we can change the diet to the urinary one alone. Ms Akira likes the new kibble and would finish her share of it very quickly. The pellets are smaller and seem lighter.

I think it would be ok for everyone to go one the same diet for the day as it is supposed to break crystals (struvite). At night whne they all get a snack Ms Akira and Megat can eat the usual renal diet but the 3 boys would have to continue with the new one since Toro might eat from their bowls too.

CAT TALES

About Me

About US

Bujang came one rainy afternoon on 18 Oct 04. He was a scared 4 week old kitten who fought bravely. He drank his milk and ate all his vitamins and grew up big, strong and steady. Ms Akira came from the SPCA on 20 Feb 05. She was about 2 months. She was a diva then and a diva now. Her favourite cat is her bruffer Bujang. Totoro (or Toro for short and TunaBelly for laughs), came here on 1 Mar 06 at 1.5 years old. He is goofy and gentle and loves to have his fur brushed. I rescued Megat from a dark cockroach-infested carpark on 13 Dec 06. He was already more than 10 years old. He had bad teeth, cataracts and FIV. Now he has 1 canine, some bluriness in his eyes and is a cancer (lymphoma) survivor for 2 years already (as of May 2011). He is very loving towards his humans, loves warm cushions and warm hearts. Rocket Tanaka is named after the celebrity chef Jun Tanaka. He was a Deepavalli blessing on 18 Nov 07, at 2 months. He eats much and sleeps even more but he is a sportskitty at heart. He thinks he is The Boss and behaves like one. Popsicle Poppy was rescued in October 2013, At 10, she was not as fast as before and was hurt twice by other cats and sometimes her fur would be singed by the fires during the Ghost Months. We formally adopted her in Nov 2014 after about 18 months of recuperation. Ninja Rezki started as a foster in April 2016 but as he has kidney issues, the amigos decided he should stay. We bought him a new toy on 24 December 2016 and adopted him on 25 Dec 2016. I am blessed to have them all.

Megat's details

We have put all of Megat's history in his own blog at http://megatmycat.blogspot.com/

There you will see his journey with lymphoma and how we managed to put him on the long road to recovery.

We are blessed to have known these kitties and know that they are now running free.Callie (091108) She died of Ataxia. It was rumoured she was Minah's mother. She was a calm community cat.B's Mom (251108) She had an accident at the carpark where she stayed. she was small and petite, unlike my Tuxie Bujang. She was his mother and she had many kittens but was too wily to be caught.Awang (050411) He was sister S's cat and he died of FIV and renal failure.FatBoy (240810) He died of renal failure and was a gangster when he was younger but he loved scritches and midnight snacks.Minah (141011) She died of renal failure. She was our pretty community cat that everyone loved and looked out for.

Our Community Cats

Our first community cats aka Wild Bunch was a group of 4 - Callie, FatBoy, Minah and Putih. Callie died of ataxia after about 1.5 weeks of hospitalisation. It was a painful affair for her even though she was under palliative care. FatBoy died of kidney failure. He was an old cat and we did all we could for him from shelter to medicines. We even tried growth hormones! Now out of the original 4, we only have Minah and Putih - both healthy although Minah will be 7 years old this year, like my cat Bujang. the new cats Tiger and Jeffrey Boy are not really the Wild Bunch but we feed them every evening. They have a caregiver M but we feed them anyway as they are community cats.
